Synergicity

SYNERGICITY: REINVENTING THE POSTINDUSTRIAL CITY

SynergiCity celebrates the reinvention of industrial districts as mixed-use neighborhoods: warehouses become residences, factories contain offices, and industrial waterfronts are reborn as parks.

The word synergicity describes the social, economic, environmental, and political process through which developers, architects, urban planners, and citizens renew communities.

This exhibition presents stories of transformation in six Midwestern cities: Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis, and Peoria.

SynergiCity is made possible through the generous support of the School of Architecture, College of Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
